HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS

FOR ATTENDING A DEPOSITION IN A VERITEXT OFFICE

A Message to All Participants Attending a Proceedings in a Veritext Office

If you are scheduled to conduct a proceeding in a Veritext office, it is essential that you follow the protocols below as well as SHARE THESE PROTOCOLS with all parties in attendance.

We trust that you are healthy, safe and well and we’re looking forward to serving you at the Veritext offices.  The health and safety of our employees, clients and independent contractors remains our number one priority.  To that end, please be aware that we will be following all CDC and Public Health Agency of Canada guidelines and instituting the following protocols in our offices:

HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS
  • Please plan to arrive early, to allow for any safety/security measures which the building may require in order to enter.

  • Absolutely no one presenting with symptoms will be allowed to enter the premises.

  • Face masks are to be worn at all times by visitors and staff. You must bring your own mask.

  • Please honor guidelines for interstate travel which may require you to quarantine depending upon the location.

  • There will be one Veritext staff member onsite to escort participants to meeting rooms.

  • Only proceeding participants will be allowed in the office. No other visitors, as waiting areas will be unavailable.

  • Rooms may have fewer chairs for the purposes of social distancing.

  • There will be no onsite technical support – although support will be available remotely if necessary.

  • Participants should plan to bring their own device/computer if needed. During this time, Veritext will not be providing loaner equipment.

  • Hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes will be available onsite.

  • All rooms will be wiped down after each use.

  • There will be no food or beverage service provided by Veritext during this time.

It is important that we adhere to the above protocols to ensure the safety of all.  Failure to do so may result in cancelling the proceeding – fees will be incurred.  As always, we will monitor the situation closely and adjust protocols if new information about COVID-19 is learned or guidelines change.  We thank you again for your patience and flexibility as we begin the path to our collective “new normal”.

THE VERITEXT TEAM

* In addition to Veritext offices, we have access to executive suites at many third party managed sites.  If those sites are open, we will book proceedings in the space.  However, because these offices are not directly managed by Veritext, we cannot make any assertions about the safety protocols to be utilized in the space.  We are subject to and will follow the safety protocols directed by the third party management company.  

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
